The next morning, Xiao He returned to the film crew.

Today is not the start of filming for "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," but rather the reading session for the series. As soon as Xiao He arrived, he spotted several familiar actors.

"Brother Xiao, hello Brother Xiao—"

Good morning, Teacher Xiao.

Hello!

Several actors who had been chatting together stood up straight when they saw Xiao He and greeted him, their words even carrying a hint of admiration.

Xiao He didn't understand what was going on with them, but he didn't ask. He greeted them calmly as usual.

I had just sat down when there was another commotion outside.

Xiao He looked up curiously and saw Yuan Sitong walking in from outside, looking radiant.

Upon seeing Xiao He, her expression showed both excitement and hesitation. Finally, she nodded politely to Xiao He and said, "Good morning, Teacher Xiao."

"Good morning, Sister Sitong."

Then Yuan Sitong obediently sat down in the chair next to Xiao He.

Xiao He was astonished.

Is this still the Yuan Sitong he knows?!

Hallucination!

This must all be an illusion!

It must be because he got up the wrong way this morning!

Just in case, Xiao He pinched his thigh to make sure he wasn't dreaming, and then checked the watch on his wrist to confirm the time.

—8:50 a.m.

Something's not right. Back when we were on the set of "Yu Ye," Xiao He never saw Yuan Sitong at this time of day!

This is simply a miracle!

Xiao He couldn't help but glance at Yuan Sitong a few more times, trying to confirm that the person who came was the real Yuan Sitong, and not a stand-in.

While Xiao He was secretly observing Yuan Sitong, Yuan Sitong was also secretly watching Xiao He.

And then, by sheer coincidence, their eyes met.

Xiao He quickly looked away to avoid causing a misunderstanding.

However, Xiao He's actions did not distract Yuan Sitong; instead, she stared at him even more intently.

As a rising star who emerged around the same time as Yiman'er and others, Yuan Sitong's looks are naturally beyond question, making her a perfect asset in idol dramas. Even though she has a bad temper and her acting skills are just so-so in real life, her beautiful appearance and versatile aura always allow her to form popular on-screen couples with male actors.

Even when she's in a relationship with different male leads from idol dramas, she always manages to attract a large number of fans who ship her with them.

Several popular couples she was paired with still have many fans celebrating, finding sweet moments in the smallest details to prove that they were once "in love".

So even though Yuan Sitong's personality isn't the best, many male celebrities still want to form a CP with her, then hype it up online and attract a wave of CP fans.

But Xiao He is not an actor who needs to rely on creating a romantic pairing to make a name for himself or prove himself. His current works and acting skills do not require him to be associated with a female actress for marketing purposes.

So even though he knew that the protagonist Song Chenye and the female lead played by Yuan Sitong had some ambiguous relationship in the work, Xiao He had no intention of creating a CP with Yuan Sitong.

In addition, since they had always kept to themselves during their time on the set of "Yu Ye", Xiao He didn't think Yuan Sitong wanted to create a CP (couple pairing) with him.

But this time, Yuan Sitong's gaze made Xiao He feel uneasy.

Xiao He subtly shifted his position, but Yuan Sitong's gaze remained fixed on him, making Xiao He wary.

Although Xiao He felt that Yuan Sitong wouldn't dare to do anything to him, her gaze was so suspicious that Xiao He had to be on guard.

However, Xiao He's subtle precautions did not alert Yuan Sitong to anything amiss. Instead, as Xiao He continued to move to the side, she also moved closer to him.

Xiao He: ?

Finally, Xiao He couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"
